Drinking Water:

Water is essential to growth, to health, and to the very existence of every
city and community, large or small. RA visualizes water engineering as a
balancing act. We insist water engineering requires both technical expertise
and the consideration of surrounding communities. While Federal Regulation
controls much of the water industry today, RA ensures providing satisfactory
water service in an economically efficient and technically sufficient
manner.
RA Professionals have experience in long distance, large diameter transmission
mains, facility planning & design, as well as construction inspection and field
activities. RA's professionals are especially experienced in the key aspects of
network analysis, water distribution system layout and design. RA understands
that our water clients must serve the demands of their growing user bases;
therefore, we continue to upgrade to state-of-the-art water technology and
maintain systems' pristine condition.
Professionals of RA work diligently to stay abreast of the ever-changing design
regulations. Most importantly, RA professionals always work with the needs of
the owner, the constructor and the community in mind.

watershed service area, future flows and ultimate EPA Consent Decree mandates.

consent decree schedules, continuously upgrade to state-of-the-art wastewater

Vehicle Quick Report

Pre and post trip vehicle inspections are required consistently throughout the
industry and are typically completed in paper format. The usable data resides
in the vehicles and becomes to cumbersome to use for fleet maintenance, until now.
Utilize StrataGIS VQR™ as an electronic method to capture the relevant data
from each inspection, transmit and store the data electronically so it can be
effectively used by fleet managers.
Our application was designed with simplicity in mind. By scanning a vehicle's ID
code placed on each vehicle, users access easy checkbox templates detailing each
item to be reviewed. The user notes defects and transmits these defects as the
report is submitted. The use of VQR requires a device with scanning and display
functionality.
By utilizing StrataGIS VQR™, with our StrataGIS Fleet™ AVL Solution, all
of your vehicle inspection data can be linked and displayed in the fleet reporting
dashboard.
The benefits of StrataGIS VQR are many, including:

Forced Inspection.

Save time not having to manually enter written reports.

Links Driver to Vehicle.

Required by Federal Regulations.

Pre and Post Trip inspections.

End of Day/End of Tour.

Improved Health and Safety.

Improved Vehicle Maintenance

Hosted Solutions Available

Supported on Android and Apple iOS devices.
